Clients and I will focus on establishing boundaries, reducing shame around body image, learn to intuitively listen to our bodies, process past traumatic experiences, and become aware of unproductive thinking patterns that keep clients stuck in shame.

I am an eclectic trauma-informed therapist who uses a variety of approaches to help clients become aware of how past experiences manifest in the body and to empower clients to live a meaningful life in the present.
Explore how feelings about your past experiences show up in your body. We will practice breathing and grounding techniques that will help you control your reactions. We will work together to find the long-lasting relief you've been looking for.

I treat trauma using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside a somatic approach to therapy, which means we'll explore sensations in your body as we also study your thoughts and feelings.
Work through identifying and processing thoughts, emotions, interpersonal patterns; evaluate how those patterns are/are not serving you; make intentional choices for what you want your life to look like while relieving symptoms getting in the way.

Therapy can and will look different for every individual. Therapy is hard work, and also fun and rewarding. My approach to therapy is evidence-based and tailored to your needs and goals, which may change and pivot over the course of therapy.
I work with my client's goals by providing support, guidance, and expertise, and the client contributes their unique perspective, strengths, and experiences.

While working with me, clients feel supported, empowered, and equipped with the tools and insights to navigate life's challenges and pursue their goals. They feel they found a therapist who aligns with their needs and preferences.
We will create a plan/roadmap; however, there will be plenty of flexibility to reevaluate where we are going, what is helping (and what is not) and how we measure progress. We will build a space that feels safe, hopeful, creative and practical.

I believe that learning and healing are best approached in a holistic way that recognizes the connection between our physical and mental health, our past and present, our culture, and our worldview/spirituality. I approach therapy as a partnership.
